That he knows of no person by whom he can prove his services, besides those already obtained; that he was born in New London afterwards Middlesex county in the state of Connecticut, on the 21 st or 22 d of February 1763, that if his father kept any record of his age, he does not know what has become of it — that after the Revolution he continued to reside in Middlesex county, until the fall of 1796 when he removed to the county of Monongalia aforesaid, and has resided therein ever since — that he believes Col.

Joseph A. Shackelford, Col. John Evans, Col. Dudley Evans, David Musgrave esq., John Daut esq. and John S. Burns esq., respectable and old citizens of the said county of Monongalia, who he believes can testify as to his character for veracity, and their belief of his services in the Revolution — that since making his former declaration, he has been reflecting on the length of his service, and he is confident it was at least fifteen months on land — That shortly after his discharge at Fort Fennick, he entered on board of a sloop privateer sally getting no other pay than what prizes they took, under the command of Capt. Seth Warner cruising off Sandy-hook, whilst out, we took a small British merchant vessel, and was out about a month, his share of the prize was about twenty dollars — the vessel struck to two of us, they were five privateer vessels in sight — That in 1781, he again entered on board of the sloop Tively of New London, master Peck, on a privateering expedition, off Sandy hook, we were long time prevented from getting out, and after getting out were soon chased in, (and left the vessel at the end of a month) — after we were chased ashore and the vessel lost —
That in the same year he entered on board of another privateer, master Elisha Hart, we chased a merchantman into Sandy hook, when we were discovered by a British frigate, who slipped her cables and gave us chase, we ran upon Gloo-gut bar on South side of Long Island in the night, where we remained three days and nights before we capitulated with the Refugees, who agreed to parole us — we were engaged about four weeks
Sworn and subscribed on the day and year aforesaid

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Samuel Dudley which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? — IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? No. VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? No
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? No

XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 1, 2 5, 6, 7
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
“Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ year _____ months and _____ days. I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension.”

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
† QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡ QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Note: James Fack's papers sent to W. Hill Sec State of N.C. for proof of service.

Dear Sir
I wrote
you some weeks ago in regard to the record of Samuel Dudley and as I have received no reply will try again. As I said in my former letter I am desirous of joining the S.A.R. and want something official in regard to his being a revolutionary soldier which I can get no where else but of you. Grandpa was a soldier from Conn. and served until the war . He removed to W.Va and drew his pension in Morgantown. His papers was signed by David Muegram after my mother (who was Samuel Dudley's

daughter, was married grand a- son to stop with her as he went to Morgantown to draw his pension. Father lives with me and knows of this but it is not enough to admit to membership in the D.A.R. so I write to you for some more definite or official information. You know what it is I want. Mother was married in 1834 so you can know something near when to look for the record as he often stopped with them after that. Kindly look this up and I will be greatly obliged yours.
